Why!!!! Hipsters!!! Why!!!!!
No one needs to kick a hipster. Unless she is LizzieMaine, and said hipster has failed to maintain the Strand popcorn popper. What's "rowdy"? Do you count roughhouse and fisticuffs as a cherished part of working class culture?- Fletch

Why!!!! Hipsters!!! Why!!!!!
Still, there's no love lost between the big city and the sticks. Although if you threw the suburbs in the room with them...lol- Fletch

Anybody receive a new Bill Kelso jacket recently?
HPA lap dog eh? ;) What BK is rolling out is called "Victory Horse." They're talking it up to the point of trashing their previous product.- Fletch

Why!!!! Hipsters!!! Why!!!!!
The question is how much city is too much. You find espresso drive-ins all over the rural Pacific Northwest and nobody considers them citified. Then again, truckers go there. Then again, a trucker in Washington is not a trucker in Wisconsin. Put them in a room and they might not agree on...- Fletch

A2 collar question
My Good Wear United test jacket has goofy snaps that buckle the collar when snapped. Never thought it might be a feature and not a bug!- Fletch

Anyone picked up a Bill Kelso lately?
Maybe he has noticed that difficult salesmanship sometimes appeals to the ex-serviceman demographic.- Fletch

History Channel Gone Wrong
The audience is now secondary, if that. The process has been refined to give marketers - network or sponsor - almost all the control and keep actual viewer input to a minimum. The programming we get only has to be entertaining enough to keep us tuned in for the ads. And it actually helps if it's...- Fletch

Not so, but shiny-hat music has one thing in common with hipster esthetics. Each is all about identity, a way of proclaiming and reinforcing who you are (or aren't) in case you can't articulate it yerownself.- Fletch

AIUI (and maybe I don't), BK's house model A-2 is getting good word of mouth, but they claim it's not selling. At the same time, they're rolling out Victory Horse, which makes the current hide second-rate goods, so of course it's not selling. They probably don't want it to sell. Now to what I...- Fletch

Mystery NBC Song
The band does sound somewhat like Dick Himber's, but lots of radio bands tried to ape Himber. Some Tuber suggested Joey Nash or Stuart Allen is singing. As a singer myself, who's studied both at length, I feel sure that neither is the man here. -

Over on The Jacket Board, BK's rep is making noises about abandoning the midprice market to compete with the likes of Good Wear. He suggests all the market for mil-jacs is at the bottom and top ends - a familiar story these days in many retail lines.- Fletch

What are you listening to?
(How I'll Miss You) When Summer Is Gone - Hal Kemp & Orch., 1929 The Kemp name stood for highly stylized, muted music, but that was just the "band that made it." The "band that failed" - in 1932 after a 6 year career - was collegiate-peppy, as you'll hear below... -
What are you listening to?
You hear a tune; I hear a rhythm. That's what happens when you listen to a piano number after hearing horns all the time. (Didn't Os Quindins pitch relief for Milwaukee awhile back? He could have. ;)) -
Why!!!! Hipsters!!! Why!!!!!
Mainstream country music has been formulated by experts to be 100 per cent irony-free. If you can't appreciate it at face value, you can't appreciate it at all. We're not going to see another Urban Cowboy resurgence anytime soon, although it would be nice to hear more good old western swing...- Fletch
